HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES The Electrotechnical Division Council (ETDC) was constituted in The Electrotechnical Division Council (ETDC) was constituted in The first standard in the field of electrotechnology was Safety of Electrical Appliances, IS published in The first standard in the field of electrotechnology was Safety of Electrical Appliances, IS published in Electronics and Information Technology Division Council was formed later in 1977 Electronics and Information Technology Division Council was formed later in 1977

HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES (cotd.) Initially, assistance was drawn from British Standards while drafting Indian Standards. Initially, assistance was drawn from British Standards while drafting Indian Standards. Subsequently, assistance was also derived from DIN and VDE standards, especially in the area of switchgears and motors. Subsequently, assistance was also derived from DIN and VDE standards, especially in the area of switchgears and motors. Assistance was also derived from ANSI, UL and JIS standards. Assistance was also derived from ANSI, UL and JIS standards.

HISTORY OF STANDARDIZATION ACTIVITIES (cotd.) From the early 1980s, ISO/IEC standards started to have greater international recognition From the early 1980s, ISO/IEC standards started to have greater international recognition Also, our being a signatory to GATT led to an obligation to adopt ISO/IEC standards. Also, our being a signatory to GATT led to an obligation to adopt ISO/IEC standards. Being full member of both ISO and IEC facilitated adoption of these standards by BIS Being full member of both ISO and IEC facilitated adoption of these standards by BIS Several Indian standards are now based on ISO/IEC standards. Several Indian standards are now based on ISO/IEC standards.
